DescriptionA cabinet card photograph picturing the crowd and Governor Jeff Davis's funeral procession in front of his home in Little Rock, Arkansas. The photo is mounted on dark mat board. Written on the back in ink is, "Funeral - leaving 1423 Broadway of Sen. Jeff Davis/home of Sen. Davis."

Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
